Prevenção de agravos e promoção da saúde: um estudo com trabalhadores portuários

Estudio cuantitativo, transversal y descriptivo, realizado en el puerto de Rio Grande, en la ciudad de Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. El objetivo fue identificar el conocimiento y participacion de trabajadores al respecto de los servicios portuarios especializados, siendo utilizada una muestra con 306 individuos. En el grupo general de los trabajadores participantes del estudio, la mayoria identifico la existencia del Programa de Prevencion de Riesgos Ambientales (67,32%), del Servicio Especializado en Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo Portuario (93,46%) y de la Comision de Prevencion de Accidentes en el Trabajo Portuario (97,38%). Sobre la participacion de los trabajadores en los servicios citados, estratificada por categoria profesional, se destaca en relacion al primero, la colaboracion, implantacion, ejecucion y respeto a las orientaciones (p=0,001), y con relacion al segundo y tercer servicios, la participacion en la eleccion de los representantes (p=0,001). Se evidencia que conocer estos servicios y participar se relaciona con la actividad desarrollada por los trabajadores. Tales evidencias contribuyen para un acuerdo entre el apoyo educativo y ambiental para la gestion de riesgos y la promocion de la salud de los trabajadores portuarios.

[Communication process: a group activities tool in the family health strategy].

The objective of the present study was to analyze the communication process tools triggered in group activities in the Family Health strategy. Data collection was performed using semi-structured interviews recorded with 51 nurses and through non-participating, non-systematic public observation in natural situations of 19 group activities analyzed according to content qualitative approach. Based on the reports of the professionals, two categories emerged: dialogue-action and dialogue-interaction, which evinced that the communication process is an instrumental means of group activities in the Family Health strategy. The former by the predominant use of verbal language as a means for developing operational procedures specific to each professional in relation to monitoring the health of the client, and the latter as an instrument in which, according to the nurses, there is a simultaneous use of verbal and nonverbal communication.The objective of the present study was to analyze the communication process tools triggered in group activities in the Family Health strategy.

Workload and associated factors: a study in maritime port in Brazil

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the effect of the mental, physical, temporal, performance, total effort and frustration demands in the overall workload, and in the same way analyze the global burden of port labor and associated factors that contribute most to their decrease or increase. Method: a cross-sectional, quantitative study, developed with 232 dock workers. For data collection, a structured questionnaire with descriptive, occupational, smoking and illicit drug use variables was applied, as well as variables on the load on the tasks undertaken at work, based on the questionnaire NASA Task Load Index. For data analysis, we used the analysis of the Poisson regression model. Results: the demands physical demand and total effort showed greater effect on the overall workload, indicating high overall load on port work (134 employees - 58.8%). The following remained associated statistically with high levels of workload: age (p = 0.044), to be employee of the wharfage (p = 0.006), work only at night (p = 0.025), smoking (p = 0.037) and use of illegal drugs (p = 0.029). Conclusion: the workload in this type of activity was high, and the professional category and work shift the factors that contributed to the increase, while the age proved to be a factor associated with a decrease.1 Apoio financeiro da Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (FAPERGS), Brasil, processo no 1174-2551/13-5. 2 PhD, Professor Associado, Escola de Enfermagem, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande, Rio Grande, RS, Brasil. 3 PhD, Professor Adjunto, Faculdade de Enfermagem, Universidade Federal de Pelotas, Pelotas, RS, Brasil. 4 PhD, Enfermeira, Escola de Enfermagem, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande, Rio Grande, RS, Brasil. 5 PhD, Professor Adjunto, Universidade Federal do Pampa, Uruguaiana, RS, Brasil. Objetivo: identificar o efeito das demandas mental, física, temporal, de desempenho, esforço total e frustração na carga global de trabalho, da mesma maneira que analisar a carga global de trabalho portuário e fatores associados que mais contribuem para sua diminuição ou aumento. Método: estudo transversal, quantitativo, desenvolvido com 232 trabalhadores portuários. Para a coleta de dados, foi aplicado um questionário estruturado com variáveis de caracterização, ocupacional, tabagismo e uso de drogas ilícitas, além de variáveis sobre a carga nas tarefas desenvolvidas no trabalho, com base no questionário NASA Task Load Index. Para análise dos dados, utilizou-se a análise do modelo de regressão de Poisson. Resultados: as demandas exigência física e esforço total apresentaram maior efeito sobre a carga global de trabalho, indicando elevada carga global no trabalho portuário (134 trabalhadores – 58,8%). Permaneceram associados, estatisticamente, com níveis elevados da carga de trabalho: idade (p = 0,044), ser trabalhador da capatazia (p = 0,006), trabalhar somente no período noturno (p = 0,025), tabagismo (p = 0,037) e uso de drogas ilícitas (p = 0,029). Conclusão: a carga de trabalho, nesse tipo de atividade, foi alta, sendo a categoria profissional e o turno de trabalho os fatores que contribuíram para o aumento, enquanto a idade mostrou-se fator associado à sua diminuição.

Objective:nto analyze the relationship of occupational health nurses with the other members of the Specialized Service in Safety Engineering and Occupational Medicine (SESMT) and characterize joint actions of these professionals in occupational health.nnnMethod:nqualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study with 34 professionals of seven companies from the South Macroregion of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Interviews and observations were conducted for content analysis of Bardin.nnnResults:nthe SESMTs are multidisciplinary and intersectoral workers. Nurses have working relations of an interpersonal, technical/legal, and management of logistics/organizational nature, influenced by the technical division of work and by the division in the work environment of the staff, which distances areas, generates conflicts, and fragments the actions of the service.nnnConclusion:nSESMT faces challenges to develop a work befitting their legal objectives, once staff and companies need to understand the importance of interdisciplinarity for the success of actions on the workers health and safety.Objective: to analyze the relationship of occupational health nurses with the other members of the Specialized Service in Safety Engineering and Occupational Medicine (SESMT) and characterize joint actions of these professionals in occupational health.
